User talk:Wintermut3
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hi Wintermut3! I'd be glad to help, please feel free to ask me anything (and welcome to Wikipedia!). I'm currently going through exams at the moment so I won't be terribly active on the site, but I'll do what I can. Thanks very much, -- Serephine ♠ talk - 22:49, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
- Back again. I see what you mean. It should not have been in the main article space for outbreak, and you correctly picked that. In future if you come across more inappropriate head titles please go ahead and point it towards the more relevant topic :) The worst case scenario is that someone puts it back, and you can always ask them to justify it. In this case, I checked the history of the Outbreak article and saw that it was only changed recently to the bike stub, so I reverted it and tried moving the bike stub to its own page... alas it was deleted not a minute after I posted it. I suppose it was just a crappy topic! Hope that helps, -- Serephine ♠ talk - 09:00, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
- Oh also, to answer a question you originally proposed on how to find the "legitiate" article. Because many different meanings to one word may exist, wikipedia has something called a disambiguation page for them. These can often be found by themselves (as for Outbreak (disambiguation) where I found the "legit" article) or as the main article for REALLY ambiguous topics (like Thing) as the main article. So look around for disambig pages, use the search bar, and check the history of any dodgy pages to help decide if the main article is appropriate. -- Serephine ♠ talk - 09:18, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pepsi Syndrome
Except for the first sentence, the article is a load of nonsense. Citation tags aren't needed, deletion of that material is needed. *Spark* 12:11, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Help Page
I have answered your question. See the answer at Wikipedia:Help_desk/Archives/2006_December_14#Marking_a_potential_hoax.3F. --Natl1 23:57, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] David Ritch
Per your comments at talk pageDavid Ritch; be bold and follow your instincts. I'm sure the author will rewrite if you goof. --Kevin Murray 23:11, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks
Thanks for the kind note on my user page re the AfD submission for Mission Mart. --Joe Decker 17:08, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] And Chaos Died AfD
Metamagician3000 and I have reworked the article on Joanna Russ's book And Chaos Died. It's not a great article, but I think it's much better than what had gone before (on the AfD, 23skidoo has changed his vote to keep). While it could certainly be expanded, it maintains an encyclopedic tone, establishes an amount of notability and includes external hyperlinks. Thoughts?

[edit] I'm not sure what you meant...
In this post. Can you redact for the edification of the thick like me? Thanks mate. - brenneman 06:25, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

In the wikimob afd. =( — coelacan talk — 23:16, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
- Ah, well, all in all, thanks for assuming good faith on my part. I still got called a "fuckwad" over the whole thing, in spite of your best effort, but I do appreciate it. — coelacan talk — 13:49, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
- It really is okay; you acted as a disinterested third party who didn't want things to escalate, and that's spot on. I would suggest taking a look at Janusvulcan's very short list of contributions before writing that essay and see the very short list of who that editor interacted with. I felt I already knew what it was all about. That's why I played up the mafia thing. But you would have needed more backstory to see all that. Anyway, the "gripe" thing was inspired by another user's question, that I was responding to,[1] but if that is so loaded a term, I'll be interested in seeing Janusvulcan's reaction to being cursed at.[2] Maybe I'm cynical, but I predict it'll be casually brushed off. — coelacan talk — 19:06, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Take a look at this!
coelacan is suggesting [3]I'm using a covert method to gripe with my wikimob article. Is this type of talk acceptable in wikipedia?--Janusvulcan 05:25, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Underage users and Jimbo
Hi. I saw your comment on UCfD concerning underage users and Jimbo. I'm under-informed on the issue. Could you explain what he said? Thanks. Xiner (talk, email) 02:45, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
